Lakshminarasimhan Santhanam This entry should be made for client version 9.0.00 as that is the client that still has the reporting facility that has EM authorizations. It is basically a workaround to allow you to use the old report with EM version 9.18.200.

The entry will not allow you to log in via the v9 gui to connect to the v9.18.200 Enterprise Manager, however it will allow your v9 Reporting Facility to connect to your 9.18.200 database and run the same EM authorizations report you ran before.
